Interviews with I XV below prior to the big game.<\/p>\n
With less than a week to the big game, we talk to some of the players about the season and the chance to play in ravenhill.
\nDominic Gillespie- this has been the best year of my life, I tried playing soccer for years but it never worked out, from my first training with the rugby club Iv felt like I belong, I love it more than abrakebabra.<\/p>\n
Alan Prendergast- I personally have had a tough season, having to move to Dublin and train up here, I miss my boys so much, every Saturday is euphoric when we meet but Sundays are so hard when I have to leave them for another week, only thing that’s keeps me going is the team photo in my wallet.<\/p>\n
John Gallagher- being the oldest member of the team I feel like a father figure, I command respect from all the young guys, I love having that power over them.<\/p>\n
Evan McGloin- This is a great team, it’s a lot better run than my previous team, I’m the wee baba on the team and all the lads really look after me, except John, he’s to old to understand modern life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
